Question about the story of resident evil 6?

I was wondering if there are any links to the older re games? Would be great to get some new info about umbrella... And maybe some things about tricell? Hope so because thats what i loved the most about the series. The story!! But since resident evil 4 its going downhill!!

Besides the characters referring to Raccoon City, there weren't really any links to the older games. Unfortunately, there aren't really any detailed updates on Umbrella. And if I remember correctly, absolutely nothing on Tricell. Of course, if I'm wrong about this, I'm sure there will be about 20 people telling me I'm wrong and calling me a moron lol

Yeah there was little to no references to the past RE games. It was, however, interesting to see Chris meet Sherry and mention his sister, Claire. Just like it was kinda neat to see Leon or Ada meet up with Sherry for the first time in ages.

Thnx for the info! That sucks! I hoped it would be like operation racoon city.. That game was bad.. But the atmosphere was good.. I will buy part 6 anyway. Because im an oldschool fan.. All the way back to part 1. I think it would be better to just reboot the whole series. New characters and new outbreak...

So how was the story in RE6 overall (i haven't gotten it yet, but i don't care about spoilers)? I know a lot of you don't like the action-oriented play mechanics or the non-horror style of the game, but how does the actual story hold up to past installments?

The story was ok. For me it was weird to have all the bad stuff happen without Wesker (Having him killed in RE5 was a mistake, IMO). And to have a new villain, you couldn't really get on board with the characters on their hatred for the bad guy.

But I thought Capcom did a great job on having 4 stories intertwine with each other as they did. And, for example, if there seemed to be a hole in Leon's story you would just have to wait to play Chris' campaign to fill in that hole. But nothing really comes together until you play Ada's campaign.

Out of all the things that i've heard about the game (and found through playing the demo), the only thing that sounds the least bit interesting to me about RE6 is the intertwining stories and seeing how all that plays out. Especially interesting to me is hearing that the final story, the Ada Wong story, is the one that brings it all together.
